In exchange, Ukraine gets what no amount of Western political pressure can deliver: assured oil and diesel for delivery in the upcoming year, financial aid, missile interceptors, and long-term cooperation with investments in Ukrainian technology.

The pledge is in addition to the EU’s €90 billion loan package, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said.

Internationally, there is no consensus that this is World War III. Instead, leaders haggle over next moves, play footsie with Putin, and debate whether to fund Ukraine’s struggle as opposed to Israel’s, as though the same Evil wasn’t behind all conflicts. Hopefully, both wars will conclude, and global tectonic plates will shift. Russian and Iranian armed forces will shrink. Iran will turn over its enriched uranium. Russia will be battered, sanctioned, and isolated until the war ends. And once Moscow loses or quits, Putin will no longer be its leader, and Russia will split along ethnic lines into many smaller nation-states. Its nuclear arsenal will be secured and dismantled.

Zelensky said the blockage of EU funds has significantly constrained Ukraine’s ability to rapidly reinforce energy infrastructure against further Russian attacks, increasing pressure on domestic resources ahead of the next winter season.

Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a ceasefire with Ukraine for the duration of the Orthodox Easter holidays, the Kremlin said Thursday, after Kyiv also proposed a pause in hostilities.

The last time a US president visited another country during its election campaign, in any capacity, was in 1996 when Democrat Bill Clinton traveled to Israel. During meetings with incumbent Prime Minister Shimon Peres, Clinton spoke favorably of Peres and his Labor party as reliable US allies, but did not take a position on which political party or candidates he or the US supported in Israel’s election campaign in progress at the time.

Unlike systems that rely on hydraulic drives, it uses electric drives, making integration with various platforms easier, the ministry said.

It is easy to tell when Air Defenses are too shitty to stop enemy incursions, but don’t let the severity of failure here of Air Defenses slip by as a mere unavoidable accident or something.

Scott Bessent is lying through his teeth.

Since we are talking about a country 600,000+ square kilometers (231,661+ square miles) in size, the 15-20 kilometers (9-12 miles) net in favor this month boils down to a rounding error. But trends are trends, and certainly the Russian propaganda engine has made much of continuing Russian ground gains. Last month, they didn’t continue.

Russia threw virtually everything it had at Ukraine this winter and it failed to break Ukraine.

Spain is sending its most advanced frigate to help provide air defense for Cyprus, an EU member state that has come under drone attack as tensions rise across the Middle East, the Spanish Defence Ministry said Thursday.

Russia’s tactical advantage is eroding. And the balance of material power is shifting toward Kyiv and Brussels, not Moscow.

KP: In 2026, everyone is talking about AI. How much of a drone intercept is still manual human skill, and how much is automated within Darknode?

Trump, Witkoff and Kushner seem to want to enlarge their fortunes in cooperation with Russia at the expense of Ukraine. Putin’s financial advisor Kirill Dmitiriev has apparently invented an idea of $12 trillion in US-Russia cooperation, while Russia is merely a $2 trillion economy. Only senile Trump can be dumb or mad enough to take such nonsense seriously, but none of his aides dare to say that the emperor is naked – and mentally deficient. This is both stupidity and attempted larceny.

Kyiv’s counterpunch to Russia’s massive bombardment campaign to force millions of Ukrainians to endure winter in cold, dark apartments is smaller scale and doesn’t target homes.

“I don’t think it’s conceivable that frontline communication is carried out via Telegram or any other messenger. It’s hard to imagine and impossible… specialists should speak on this,” he told reporters.
